I am looking for the following family on the 1861 census
William Spain b1830 Frogholt, Nr Newington Nr Hythe
Elizabeth Spain b1828 Folkestone
Children:
Elizabeth b1849 Folkestone
Maria b1850 Folkestone
Susannah b1852 Elham
William J b1853 Folkestone
Sarah b1856 Rotherhithe, Surrey
Thomas b1858 Deptford, Kent
Clara b1860 Deptford, Kent
The family then stayed in Deptford.
I have the family on all other censuses but cannot trace them on this one.
In 1871 they are living at Napier Street, Deptford (Elizabeth is then a widow)
I would be grateful for any help
Thanks for looking
Chris

Sorry visitors arrived. Thanks for putting up the details for Alice for 1871. I have tried all the different spellings that I can for 1861 but no luck so far.
Thanks for checking findmypast.
